From dust, salt and speed. From a way of understanding bikes where every decision matters and every terrain asks something different of you.
That's where it all begins. And it's also the reason we see gravel differently. For the adventure. For the shared moments and for the joy of the ride, even when the road changes.
BROKEN ROADS. ARID TRACKS. UNEXPLORED TRAILS that connect places, people and stories. Places where getting there first doesn't always matter. Or even getting further than anyone else. Just keep moving forward.
Mediterranean roots. Mondraker DNA. Driven by technology. Limitless. Unmistakable.
Ready to keep going when the road changes.
Try something new.
Ride solo or join that group that’s always ahead of you, kicking up the dust. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Take a break from mountain biking. Or maybe don’t. Mix it up with gravel and finish a 200km self-supported race on endless trails. Or just lose yourself in the woods for the weekend. Build a fire, and if you catch something, cook it for dinner. Do it your way, but do gravel. The Mondraker way.
It’s a family matter. The Mondraker Arid Carbon family, of course.
The stunning frame design of the Mondraker Arid Carbon was begging for an aluminium sibling. So, we used our Stealth Evo technology to make sure its metal counterpart was tough enough for the roughest of tracks while still keeping things comfortable. The frame shares the same sleek lines as the carbon model, with special details like the seat stays blending seamlessly into the seat tube. From a distance, you’d be hard pressed to tell if the frame’s aluminium or carbon, but you’d have no doubt that it’s an Mondraker Arid.
Smooth as silk.
That’s the best way to describe the welds on the new Mondraker Arid. The kind you run your fingers over and instantly know it’s about more than just good looks. Thanks to Smooth Welding technology and hydroformed tubing you get better vibration damping, reduced stress on the aluminium, and a far more comfortable ride over the chatter.
For the tech-head riders out there. Smooth welding technology prevents overheating during the welding process. By maintaining a more balanced welding temperature, it eliminates inconsistencies in the stiffness of affected areas, making the frame’s response more predictable under stress and tension. This also allows for controlled flex in key areas without compromising durability. Altogether, these features enable the new Mondraker Arid frame to absorb terrain vibrations more effectively.
